About me:

I have lived in Indiana all my life ....love the people,the history and the land...hate the weather. I love music and finding new artists to lsten to. I also enjoy photography and Genealogy.

You can see my photography at the website below, which also gives a history of my family dating back as far as the 1500's. The website won the HERITAGE AWARD FOR GENEALOGICAL WEBSITES in June of 2007. I started out taking landscape photos of local scenery and soon found that I love to photograph people. Not the posed stuff though..I love taking candid shots when people are unaware of the camera and just being themselves.

In the past two years I have published one book of photography titled "A Midwest Pictorial", been published in newspaper and magazines throughout Indiana and one of my photos was used as the album cover for the amazing musician Achim Wiershem (Mindmovie).
My favorite photographer is Robert Frank who published the awesome book "The AMericans" ...a look at America in the mid 20th century.
My favorite authors are James Thurber, Ray Bradbury, Jack London and Stephen King.
My favorite musicians are John Mellencamp, James Taylor, Van Halen and many more. I played in the band "Night Shift" for several years (drummer) and like all types of music. Favorite movies include: Indiana Jones, Star Wars, A Christmas Story, old "B" horror films, Dark Shadows, Star Trek ....amd most recently "Slumdog Millionaire".

If you want to discuss similar interests or want to comment my photography...please send me a friend request or message me! I have made many great friends here and hope to make more!

    Brother Mark...hopin the magic is in your heart and you are feeling well, and very blessed.
    Soooo...me being the self involved crazy artist Angel I am...I really didn't know the plan for our Thanksgiving...when I woke up, L. said "welcome to Plymouth Rock";-)...to my great surprise there were Pilgrims And Native Americans all around this place..Lol...my bass player Steve had a built a 16 ft. high teepee in the backyard..................... just so cool:-)...my daughter Piper said, "let's make this year different so we did"...I got dressed up real quick.....we broke bread. shared stories and lots of laughter, the band made some music, and we had the most amazing drum circle at the end of our evening...lots of love and gratitude...

    Now...after this I got this thought...yeah, yeah I know, uh oh...heeheehee
    Just imagine..if we could get all the kindred souls on this crazy MySpace thing in one place at one time, break bread, share stories, lots of laughter, bands making great music...and at the end of the evening have the most giant, huge monster drum circle ever??? Like a great heartbeat going out into the Universe...so many magic people united in love...ya know, I think we might just change the world for just a little bit...
    Yep! That's what I think alright;-)
    Have a wonderful day and a very blessed week ahead!
    Love n Honor
    Yer Friend

    THE SUN RISES BEYOND ON JOURNEYS END

    Yesterday has ended memories remain

    yesterdays dreams for tommorow unfold

    like the fire that burns unforeseen

    with the coming of the wind

    and a heart that has been broken

    only to feel love again

    the sun rises beyond a journeys end

    Roads we traveled we leave behind

    cobbled stone roads unknown

    highways that ended with yellow lights-caution

    that made us pause in the road of life

    or to move on toward our destiny once more

    new journeys we began

    dreams we dreamed on distant moonlit shores

    some fallen and forsaken

    like the lover who left us behind

    at the break of a new day emerging

    lost at love again when love was just a game-

    We wonder again amidst a new journeys end

    as the new day begins in quiet solitude

    and the sun rises alone

    dreams unfulfilled find a new meaning

    and a new beginning in hearts of pain once broken

    as the sun rises beyond a journeys end

    May the spirit of the wind and rain bring solace to your soul

    and the flight of the white dove bring you peace from within

    (c) Dakota Williams (Poetic Risings)

    alas...hey there MARK how are you today, all going well for you hope that it was a productive week and happy one at that too.
    Was happy to receive the notice thanks.
    Great photgraphs since I have heard quite about you in the past few months.

    I am running late it finally turned out to be a nice afternoon, would have been great day for a hike, the sun is out and nice climate.
    Was heading up north for a photo shoot at my friends property but we all decided to postpone for Sunday then head to the lake house for me to kick back some.
    Was at the hot air balloon earlier this morning near by but did not stay long.
    Excited with your talent and outcome of all your work, fantastic.
    Well, I best get going have to fly here soon, so um wanted to touch base with you.
    In the mean time take care of you Mark and your loved ones
